Norman and Bernard Cassidy abt 1912
"These two boys are Norman and Bernard Cassidey son of Willie Cassidy. This is an original postcard with the picture on the front and on the back is addressed to Mr. P Leavis, Howe Island, Ont. This would be lot 4 on Howe Island. (It would have been the second farm down from the Head of Howe Island which was the Leavis and then Garrah farm in 1945.) It reads exactly as it appears: "Dear Friend. This is a picture off my to sons Norman and Bernard with Love to I remain." Yours Truly, Willie Cassidy. It has a l cent us stamp on it. Mailed Aug.31, 10.00PM 1912. It would appear they would be from a well to do family if they had bicycles and appear to be well dressed. The Gibson's must have purchased the farm from the Cassidys in the early 1900's." Thanks to Wilf Garrah for photo and info!
